Bio
Tina Minano
I was a sales representative for BMW for five years. As a newbie, I required much training, and Robert had the utmost respect and patience. Robert, a sales manager at the time, provided excellent leadership skills. As my mentor, he demonstrated integrity, confidence, and commitment. I admire Robert for how he interacted with employees and the actions he took to encourage the team's success. By far one of the best managers I've ever had and has helped pave my way to success.

When putting your trust in someone - hoping they'll handle your concerns effectively and with dignity - there is no better place to put that confidence than Bob Westervelt. I have known Bob as a friend and colleague for 20 years. He's had my rock-solid trust as a friend, and as a vendor and business colleague. He knows every detail about his product - and will steer you in the RIGHT direction (not necessarily toward his product) every time. He will do what's right and best for you... just give him the opportunity to let him get to know you, and your needs. You'll find all the confidence and good-natured genius that I've found myself in Bob.
